Trifextra – The Great Garbanzo Bean Incident

In yesterday’s post, I made reference to my refusal to do group hugs after The Great Garbanzo Bean Incident, saying I would speak no more of it.
Well, a clamor went up. Ok, it wasn’t a clamor, more like a cry. Ok, it wasn’t a cry either.
But one person did reference it in their comment on that post.
How can I refuse such an overwhelming plea for the story?

And then the admirably bent folk at Trifecta provided the final impetus with this weeks challenge, to provide (in 33 words) the opening sentence of your novel.

So, without further ado, I present the first sentence from my nonthcoming novel “The Great Garbanzo Bean Incident”

Oh the condimentanity!

For what would be the last time ever, we all joined in a group hug, filled with tears and pain, horror and screams, and hummus – and the husks of the beaten garbanzo beans.

tease.. ya know writing is what gets stuff out of my headf once I have written it.. I no longer remember it so much.. I mean well I remember it but if it was something that bothered me .. a lot. like um lemme think a group hu\g or something with beans… writing it would help .. ya knw what i mean? WRITE IT! .. ok see I was impatient and now i am fine..
I may have to try this one this week.. and be vague and nonforthcoming… but I wrote dowm all the names to my book ideas and forgot where I put them.,.. HEY you need a ghost writer and you are in luck I happen to provide that service and will give you a super discount – free.. just go ahead ,.,tell me the whole story 😉

Oh, seriously! After it is written, it could be animated, released and become viral both ways! I’m afraid they have yet to find a cure for either of those viruses, so the responsibility for all of that infection would rest squarely upon your shoulders, and upon all of ours who encouraged you. We could start a support group, sell t-shirts. So many possibilies. Just write it!
Want a bite of this apple? It’s so shiny, sweet, and juicy! Hehehe!

Ummm….yeah. I liked TMWGITU’s poem…she should guest post…just a suggestion….okay, I’m off to drink a plethora of wine by a fire with the girlies. AND, no there will be no group hugs nor garbanzo beans. Just in case you were wondering… 🙂

You are so freakin’ funny. I don’t even need the garbanzo story, the title of this post is enough. And the opening paragraph. So great to usher in a new week with laughter and visions of slippery bean paste. 🙂
